WEBVTT FOR NOW WE ARE LIVE IN MIDTOWN, GEORGE LETTIS, WBAL-TV 11 NEWS. STAN: GEORGE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DONNA: FBI OFFICIALS HAVE CONFIRMED THE IDENTITY OF THE SUSPECT KILLED IN THE CHAOS YESTERDAY AT FORT MEADE. BARRY SIMMS IS LIVE WITH MORE ON THE SUSPECT AND THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE SHOOTING. BARRY: GOOD EVENING, DONNA AND STAN. BEHIND ME IS THE BUILDING WHERE RICKY HALL LIVED. HALL WAS TRANSGENDER. SOME OF HIS FRIENDS TALK TO ME ABOUT THE INCIDENT. THE FBI SAYS THE INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING, TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT PROMPTED PEOPLE TO DRIVE INTO THE NSA BUILDING WITH A STOLEN SUV. RICKY HALL WAS KILLED. HIS PASSENGERS IN THE HOSPITAL. BOTH MEN WERE DRESSED AS WOMEN. RICKY HALL WAS KNOWN TO THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY AS MAIA. IT IS TERRIBLE THAT SHE LOST HER LIFE. IT IS TERRIBLE. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS DOES NOT SOLVE ANYTHING. IT'S JUST ANOTHER TRAGEDY WE HEAR ABOUT AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE. BARRY: SHE HAD KNOWN ALL FOR ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS. HE DID WHAT EVER HE COULD TO SURVIVE, AS I THINK ANY HUMAN BEING IN A SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, IT IS COLD OUT HERE, NO FOOD, WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SURVIVE. BARRY: HALL APPEARED TO BE BEHIND THE WHEEL WHEN THE VEHICLE MADE AN UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY ONTO THE NSA PROPERTY MONDAY MORNING. INVESTIGATORS DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS RELATED TO TERRORISM. THE 60-YEAR-OLD OWNER SAID HE PICKED UP TWO MEN DRESSED AS WOMEN IN BALTIMORE AND DROVE THEM TO THE HOWARD COUNTY LOCATION. COURT RECORDS INDICATED THAT HE WAS FOUND GUILTY OF ROBBERY, PROSTITUTION, AND ASSAULT AND THEFT. LEONARD SAYS THAT SHE SAW HALL JUST ABOUT 12 HOURS BEFORE THE INCIDENT AT THE NSA. SHE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO DRIVE LIKE THAT. SHE DOES NOT HAVE A LICENSE. SHE WAS -- THIS WAS OUT OF HER CHARACTER. BARRY: AN NSA POLICE OFFICER WAS INJURED IN THAT INCIDENT AND TAKEN TO AN AREA HOSPITAL, TREATED, AND RELEASED.
